Medical services in New Zealand

“Very helpful staff - accommodating, knowledgeable and provide a great service. Could not recommend this practice more highly.”

“This will be my 1st google review & possibly my last (famous last words). EMC have had off days, (more so in earlier earlier times) but, days that matter far outweigh these. I think people are quick to be sensitive & forget to consider context & give grace. I can say that because I've been enrolled with EMC for a number of years. The medical advice I've recieved from Dr Steinberg and Dr Raj has steered me in good direction over the years. Bernadine is always busy, but genuine & proactive in her role. I have always appreciated that she acknowledges me by name, asks about my children by name and remembers things about them. I've been in the waiting room and seen her like that with many others. There was a time when the person on the front desk would ask offensive questions and never remember my name. Bernadine was professionally subtle in letting me know that I was 'seen' and known without embarassing her colleague. Dr Andrea Steinberg and Dr Jyoti Raj are my Drs but I've seen nearly everyone on staff at one time or another. My kids usually see the Henleys or Dr Paul Norton and they're so good with the kids. Melinda, Kerry & Felicity are amazing. They seem to love what they do and are personable as well as knowledgable. I appreciate that I am heard, that my concerns are validated (esp re the kids. When we discovered 2 of my kids had an allergy, I was given independant medical advice that would have been devastating had EMC not been involved. Andrea acted quickly, commanded what she needed and I witnessed the centre go from a homely GP Practise to an ER Dept on speed! All hands on deck!) I think it's hilarious that I can leave EMC, feeling like I just gained the smarts to specialise in an area of medicine. Love that.”

“Best doctors, doctor's assistants and nurses, always willing to accommodate me when I drop in with sick children. Brad the receptionist is always helpful too. Never wait longer than an hour.”

“Husband and I are very thankful for Christene and the doctor there. Both are lovely people. Very very helpful with the medical side of the immigration process. Angels! ”

“100% recommend this medical clinic. Warm atmosphere and Love the fact they incorporate Te Reo in their messages throughout the practise. Our doctor Dr Anna Te Ata is caring, understanding and professional and gave us the attention we needed. Very happy, thank you Little London.”

“Dr Sue Clark is the best Doctor I have ever had. She listens without judgement and gives great advice. She has helped me in numerous ways over the last couple of years. There are always appointments available and when you are sick you want that lack of hassle. Easy parking. Highly recommend if looking for a new Doctor.”

“Needed to see a doctor urgently so filled out the application form online and went in right when they opened. The receptionist was able to fit be in for an appointment later on that morning which was really great. I came back with my passport paid and was seen by a friendly nurse for a check up before I met the doctor. Both the nurse and doctor made my visit comfortable and relaxing. I have quite bad anxiety from bad doctor visits in the past so this was a breath of fresh air. So glad I decided to sign up here. Thank you also to the lovely staff here who were so accomodating.”

“One of the best GPs I have had the privilege of dealing with. I often have to contact GPs as part of my work and the receptionists, nurse and doctors were all excellent - rapid response time and incredibly helpful. Thank you for an awesome experience!”

“Have been a patient of this practice since it was set up 14 years ago, and even though I am in my 80s and now live 25 minutes drive away, I wouldn't want to go anyway else. Lovely, friendly, caring service.”

“Akira is lovely to deal with, gives lots of advice and is very good at what she does. I was very happy with the service she gave and would certainly recommend her.”

“I am very grateful that Craig has been able to provide me with a bike setup that is tailored to my specific needs. It's fantastic knowing that as a beginner, that I've been guided by someone with the expertise and knowledge in this domain. Fantastic service, always willing to answer queries, and an all round great guy! Thanks so very much for all of your assistance!”

“Kowhai Therapeutic services are incredibly professional, discreet and knowledgeable. The offer a calm, welcoming, comfortable and understanding environment. I highly recommend both Steph or Sam for any support or counselling needs you have.”

“I had 3 sessions with Shirley over the past month. She was very helpful, having a no nonsense pragmatic approach to some of the things I have been going through recently. She didn't so much give advice, but rather affirmed and supported the conclusions I had been coming to myself, but was perhaps unwilling to admit; giving me a few ideas and hints along the way. After the sessions I felt empowered and positive about life and the goals & aspirations I have. I heartily recommend her as an effective Counsellor :-)”

“I have very positive experience enrolling with Portsea Medical. Both Dr Katie and Dr Stephen are great, and I am happy to see any of them depending on availability. Booking can be done easily via managemyhealth, and usually I don't need to wait long (unless the Drs are away). (Attached below a view from the waiting room)”

“Warm, non-judgemental, expert support - just what a struggling parent needs. Couldn't speak more highly of this service.”

“Helpful, lovely chemists who really care.”

“I can only highly recommend Dr. Emma - she is very experienced and fantastic with kids. She is warm and really personable and has been wonderful for our family. I could not imagine seeing anyone else.”

“My name is Evie and I see Heather. I really like the atmosphere, it makes me feel really safe and calm. Heather is really kind and won’t make you talk about anything that you don’t want to share.”

“Friendly and efficient staff here everytime i visit my Doc.”

“I highly recommend Siriyada she has helped me after knee surgeries. Plus neck, shoulder and other issues in the past . She is very professional and loves to help you ease any pain . I have sent clients from the gym and my own private training business and she has helped them with their problems.”

“Professional, effective yet gentle counseling service. Highly recommend it!”

“AA Advocates for B.A.D* Bitchz *bipolar affective disorder”

“Can't recommend this lovely gentleman enough, he has been patient, kind and understanding of my problems and offered real solutions which have worked, and continue to work. He has not only helped ease the pain of a frozen shoulder but has also identified other underlying issues and helped me to treat those too. Will definitely keep attending.”
